My kids were out of school on Halloween and the following day for Teacher Conferences. It was fun to have that time together and also a blessing that we didn’t have to wake them for school on the day after trick-or-treating.

The trouble is, even though the kids weren’t at school, we still had to honor Little A’s nap time, so we were largely restricted to the house in the afternoon hours. Our Make-Your-Own Baked Apples were borne of our afternoon “house arrest.”

This isn’t so much a recipe as it is a simple how-to. Like always, make them your own! Have fun with your kiddos and try out different combinations. Then, report back and let us know what worked.

M & W decided this would be a wonderful cousin activity, so we’re planning to make these Thanksgiving Day.
